It was frightening for Lizzy Savetsky, 36, according to another insider. Her pro-Israel stance received hate from fans, according to a third source. Page Six reports that a Bravo representative clarified the news, saying, After thoughtful consideration and conversation with Lizzy, we have come to the mutual conclusion that Lizzy Savetsky won’t be joining the RHONY cast.
Lizzy Savetsky also confirmed the news on social media via an Instagram post following the speculations. According to her Instagram bio, the reality star is a “proud Jew and Zionist,” and has been vocal about her political and religious views. In a video published at the beginning of October, Savetsky criticized Kanye West’s racist remarks, noting, in the captain, I am continuing to receive shockingly hateful, threatening remarks in support of his antisemitic message. My children’s great-grandmother didn’t survive Auschwitz so we could sit idly around as individuals threaten our existence as a people. We need to speak up! These threats are taken seriously by me, and you should do the same. Additionally, Lizzy Savetsky was harshly criticized on social media for editing a Vogue cover that mocked Bella Hadid, who has expressed pro-Palestinian views.
